OFC Champions League: Champs Ousted; Eastern Suburbs, ABM Galaxy Advance To Quarterfinals

Two games were played at Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea as action in Group A of the OFC Champions League concluded.

In the opener, Martin Bueno scored twice (11', 72') as Eastern Suburbs secured top spot in the group by demolishing Hienghene Sport 4-0, ending the New Caledonian club's one-year reign as Oceania's club champions.

In the sunset, Ati Kepo scored twice as the host club Hekari United held off ABM Galaxy 2-1.

Due to inferior goal differential though, Hekari United were still eliminated while Galaxy advanced to the quarterfinals.
